One urban legend has that if you say “Bloody Mary” thirteen times in front of a candle lit mirror while brushing your hair, the revenging spirit of a woman will appear to disfigure you.
Argentinean writer Jose Louis Borges used the symbol of mirror to mean eternity, fantasy and imitation.
In early days, the mirror was actually a sheet of polished metal like silver and copper.
In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, Alice's mirror is truly a mirror to a strange world.
